![]() ![]() ![]() Why don't you just blink a single night light bulb once every few seconds? There should be no reason to use two, the single pulsing should be recognized as moving. IR leds MIGHT be close enough but it depends on the sensors actually response. THAT being said =)ĭid you use IR leds or regular LEDs? Because regular LEDS won't come even close to IR. This hack isn't just ugly it goes against basic engineering, keep it stupid simple =) That being said the appropriate action is to have the sensor removed or bypassed by whomever takes care of the building where you work, it would be a good show of your persistence to find the right person to talk to get what you want done rather than rig a circuit for this. I have been able to "fool" the sensor with two 120V night light bulbs mounted about 6" apart and a manual switch to toggle back and forth between the bulbs to similate a moving IR source, but it's very cludgy and cumbersome and uses a lot of energy by itself.ĭoes anyone have any good ideas for fooling this sensor? Maybe a low power compact circuit or some other trick? Mirrors don't seem to reflect enough IR to get around the bookshelf. The sensor is not triggered by LEDs or a small flashlight waving near by. There is no manual over-ride on the control unless you take off the cover and set a DIP switch which I don't want to do for several reasons. Neither the shelf or the control is likely to be moved. I have a motion sensing lighting control in my office which unfortunately is behind a bookshelf and so I have to get up every 20-30 minutes and trip it to turn my lights back on. I am in need of a circuit to "fool" a motion sensing lighting control. ![]()
